Sen. Robert Torricelli will retain his Senate Seat - Jay Severn 96.6 FM Talk

96.9 FM Talk Radio - Boston, MA 07:35 PM | 10-02-02 | Vannrox commentary on Jay Severn Statement

On 96.9 FM Talk Radio - Boston, MA at 07:35 PM the radio host; Jay Severin was providing his "Insider Commentary" on the New Jersery Supreme Court Opinion. During his commentary he mades some amazing statements.

This opinion, as you may recall, stated that even though the law specifically stated otherwise, and that even though the law was written for exactly this kind of event, it was invalid. They ruled that the Democrat Party can place anyone they wished on the ballot, in deference to the rule of law. That they can do this independently of time or of reason.

The net effect is that Sen. Robert Torricelli, who was losing his reelection bid for the US Senate in New Jersey dropped out of the election. In his place, the DNC then appointed a "Better" candidate; former Sen. Frank Lautenberg.

From the information provided by Jay Severin on the radio, it appears that "Insiders" are well aware of this "Fix" and that it has been thought of months ago. Apparently, use to personal reasons (health?), the former Sen. Frank Lautenberg would most likely step down one or two months into his term of office.

It is apparently planned, that by law the Governor would then have to appoint a replacement Senator. It is supposed to be Sen. Robert Torricelli, and as shocked as many who heard this is expected to be, it is anticipated that the outrage would be short lived and forgoten. Because the Senator would have six years (minus two months) for the people to forget about this event. Further, it would be unlikely that any court would rule against a Governor appointment by law, no matter how blatently corrupt.

Menendez I could see.

In fact, I think he becomes NJ's Senator by 2006 regardless who wins this year's election.

Torricelli is far too damaged for this to happen. He would have to run again in '04 and would have another tough time of it most likely. His career is finished.

Severin runs hot and cold on Republicans,but an interesting take. Isn't it amazing,how no scenario,no matter how unethical or illegal, is never considered to be too far fetched for the Democrats ?? CNN's Jonathan Karl said this afternoon, that when asked if he would give his war chest to old Frank-Torch said the lawyers would have to sort it out, it might not be legal ( Ha, Ha),blah,blah. When asked if he would resign his seat-the Torch became enflamed, spewing curses, according to CNN. So all is still not well among the NJ Mafia.

[The Old Hoosier]

He'd only have two years as an appointee. Not going to happen.

Hey - there's no link for the radio station, what's up ?

[Libloather]

Since Lautenberg turns 79 in January, he decides to perk up and make decent a run at the election. Lautenberg does himself in by overdosing on Viagra. RATS don't tell anyone until the election is over. Lautenberg wins the popular vote. Democratic Gov. McGreevey appoints Torricelli to the seat for another six years.

It can happen...

You laugh?

[Tailback]

The Dems HAVE TO have a candidate on the ballot so that they are capable of committing voter fraud. It would be too time consuming to conduct a write in fraud campaign. They need to be able to either punch stacks with a nail or use a black marker on optical scan ballots. They know it will still be difficult with Lautenberg but with no candidate on the ballot their goose is cooked.

LOL...YES!!

The Dems HAVE TO have a candidate on the ballot so that they are capable of committing voter fraud.

If the law is applied as written, they've got a candidate on the ballot - Robert Torricelli. The Dems would not have had to risk their party's reputation nationwide to implement the scenario you described.
